Andrew Noble of Rauchta, N. NJ, was
found hanged to nail In the Kitchen OF his
house a few days ago. Noble had q beau
tiful daughter, whose hand was sought in
marriage by two settlers. Noble favored
the successful rival, and 1t was thought
that the rejected suitor took revenge on
the old man, as he was badly bruised about
the head, and then hung him to avert
suspicion.

The Washington critic., 1887-03-09

THE late Congress is severely critl-
cised in some quarters because, though
pledged to revision of the tariff and
n reduction of taxes, 1t did nothing but
vote appropriations, or agree to appro-
priations that would have emptied the
Treasury. The critics seem not to un-
derstand that, while 1t Is very simple
thing to pass resolution in National
Convention In favor of tariff reform, it
is the hardest thing in the world, In the
present factious condition of the Dem
ocratic party on the tariff question, to
carry out this sort of "pledge" in the
House. Some people blame Randall
for 1t; and some Carlisle and Morrison
1t Is of small consequence which. So
long as the party is divided on policy,
1t Is useless to expect legislation to put
1t into statutory operation. But, come
TO look at II, what ,oda the pledge for
violating which n Democratic House Is
arraigned Simply this:
The Democratic party is pledged to revise
the tariff in spirit of fairness to all interests.
But, in making reduction In taxes, II Is not
proposed to iniuro any domestic industries,
but rather TO promote their healthy growth.
This platform was fixed up 50 that
Randall and Carlisle could both stand
on 1t at once, and who shall say that

THE CRITIC regrets to note that the
New York Sun looks somewhat askance
ut the proposed Memorial Bridge across
the Potomac, on the assumption that 1t
is associated In some way with the
Centennial celebration of 1889. The
SUNS feelings upon the subject are so
worked up that It witheringly'refers to
Washington as "that town" which
wants the bridge as an accessory TO the
attractions of the show. 1t seems never
TO have occurred to our esteemed con.
temporary that bridge across the Po-
tomac at the point indicated in the bill
is something much wanted, and that
there is nothing inappropriate In giving
TO the structure memorial character
and the highest possible architectural
beauty. Neither is the Sun apparently
aware that even with the desired ap-
preparation In hand the bridge codld
scarcely be made passable roadway
by the spring Of 1880, or in any sense,
except as convenience, add to the
spectacular effect Of the Centennial.

WASHINGTON, MARCH 0, 1881
r,Kr1IME nY THE roHELocK.

The House Of Representatives which
was elected in November last, entered
upon It's official existence on the 18th of
March and It's members are now under
pay. They are doing no service and
without organization are incapable of
doing any. Not until they have Assem-.
bled In December next, elected a
Speaker and been pnrcelcd out In
committees, can they enter upon the
work OF legislation. Tuis means in the
light of many plecgdsnts that little or
nothing il Ia be expected of the Eff.
iicih Congress un'ii after the begin
ming Of the next year.
Considering how lVlr WAS done In
fact, though much In promise, toward
the reduction OF a. cuuspuur accumu'
lating surplus by The Congress which
has Just expired; how much useful
legislation that lacked but Il tew hours,
or n few minutes ui cou7nmma,ion,
was finally lost in the confusion Of al.
,iournmont; how many peuding bills
that deserved consideration were left
to perish in their pigeon holes; what n
large debit balance, rs 1t were is to be
carried over to the business account Of
the new Congress, the prospect is not
cheering one.
The next year is to he devoted largely
to President making. Although 1t
seems but yesterday that Mr.. Cleve-
land was inaugurated, yet, only fifteen
months from now, will the National
Conventions be held to nominate his
successor. The two great parties in
Congress, when they assemble lin Jan.
uary next, after the holiday recess,
will be surcharged with politics. Every
movement that is made at either end of
the Capitol will have more or less refer
ence 10 candidates and politics and the
issues OF the ensuing campaign.
Between the friends Of the Admins
tration on the one hand, intent upon
maintaining Its credit and vindicating
its record, and the opponents Of the
Administration on the other, eager
only to disparage II in the confidence
of the people-between combinations
here and combinations there, In the
interest of rival aspirants-the Capitol
will partake far more of the character
of an arena Of partisan controversy
than of serious and disinterested labor
for the welfare Of the country. What,
then, shall be done to promote the
chances of legislation which the public
interests demand
Let special session of the Fiftlc,h
Congress be called at once.
While 1t is true that no new Congress
is responsible for the luchcs of its pre-
decessor and that all responsibility on
the part of any Congress ceases with
its expiration, the duty of the Govern
ment to the people is, nevertheless,
continuous. Where It can be shown
that necessary legislation las been
neglected by Que Congress which CA.
not safely or wisely lie postponed to
the regular meeting Of another, e'pe'
olally under circumstances not favorable
10 Its prompt enactment even then,
WHY should the President hesitate to
order an extra or intervening session
by which much valuable time may be
gained and ample opportunity afforded,
not only for completing business that
was never finished, but for considering
and formulating new business that
might be endangered by postpone
mentg
